An Easy Way To Make Your Own
Holy Water
By Silver RavenWolf
Materials:
1 tsp of Rose Water (optional)
3 tbsp sea salt or Kosher salt
1 small bowl of spring water*
1 clean glass container
1 new compact mirror
1 storage bottle (small)
* Note: Spring water is extremely hard to come by. You may not be
able to trust the bottled water, as it had been determined that
many who use it are victims of false advertising, so be sure you
are familiar with the spring water company. I suggest going on a
small hiking trip with a large glass jar (like the type you buy
family-size fruit in), and filling your jar from a running stream
or other "live" body of water that is well known for "good
fishing."
Cleanse and sterilize the bowl and glass container with boiling
water.
Insure that you have total privacy during preparation.
Time: Midnight during a Full Moon phase.
Place: Out of doors under the moon, or near a window that will
reflect the light of the moon.
Set out your work cloth and all ingredients upon it.
Take five or six deep breaths to relieve the stress of the day.
Cast your magick circle. Hold your arms outstreched in the Goddess
position (arms out at the sides like you are cradling the
Universe, palms up.) Say:
In the cloak of the midnight hour I call upon the Ancient Power I
seek the presence of the Lady and Lord To bless this water that I
will pour.
At this point, you should feel the energy of Earth Mother and
Skyfather move about your feet and head. Feel your own energy
expand around your navel and then unite with Divinity. Take your
time; no need to rush.
Add the rose water to the spring water. Pick up the bowl of water,
hold it toward the light of the moon, and say:
In my hands I hold the essence of the Gods. I hereby cleanse and
consecrate this water to Divinity that it may be used for positive
acts only and may aid me in my magickal work.
Feel the energy of the Moon Goddess pulsate down into the water.
Imagine her silver light descending from the heavens and
impregnating both the water and yourself. You will feel a "glowy"
sensation.
Set the water down and pick up the salt. Feel the power moving in
your arms as you raise the salt toward the moon. Say:
In my hands I hold the essence of Earth Mother; she whose bounty
sustains all living creatures. I hereby consecrate this salt to
Divinity that it may be used for positive acts only and may aid me
in my magickal work.
As with the water, imagine the energy of the Moon Goddess
empowering the salt.
Set the salt down and pour a little into the bowl of water, and
stir clockwise three times. Repeat this process twice more.
With the bowl in your left hand (recieving) and the mirror in your
right (sending), reflect the light of the moon off the mirror and
into the bowl. After a few moments say:
This liquid is now pure and dedicated to the Lord and Lady. It is
free from all negativity in any time and any space.
Set the bowl and mirror down and hold out both of your hands,
palms down, over (not touching) the bowl, about one inch above the
water.
Let the vibrations of your body come alive. Open your third eye
chakra and imagine a glowing purple light emanating from it.
Form and open triangle with your hands over the water and project
the light into it. In your mind, see the water change color and
glow. Feel the power and energy flow from your head down through
your arms and up from your feet and out from your arms
simultaneously. When you feel the energy begin to dissipate,
slowly lower your hands and say:
As I will So mote it be With the free will of all And harm to
none This formula is done!
You may ground your energy in two ways. Either place your hands
physically upon the ground and feel the energy drain into Earth
Mother, or imagine your energy as a force field around you, and
quietly step back out of the skeleton of energy and watch it
collapse in upon itself and melt into the ground.
Transfer the water to your storage container and store it away
until you are ready to cleanse and concencrate your sacred space.
Be sure to clean up after yourself by putting all things away in
their designated places so that you will be able to find them
again next when they're needed.
